In NYMag.com’s latest monthly roundup of the fashion glossies, “The Best and Worst of October Magazines,” they’ve deemed this In Style photograph of Christina Aguilera in her closet as one of the best. Look, I’m all for ostentatious displays of wealth—I only wish I had more wealth to display ostentatiously—but this photograph is obscene and depressing. Does one woman really need this many pairs of shoes, so many that she needs a ladder to reach some of them? What hole in your insides are you trying to fill that that many shoes will never fill anyway? And her son standing there, looking at the camera, like, Can you believe how depressing this is?, made me experience the existential sadness of living in a celebrity-worshiping capitalist culture that prizes material wealth above, say, motherhood. Then I clicked on to the next page. [NYMag.com]

Maybe her son is just stunned by the awesomeness of the Louboutins in which he’s playing. Or perhaps I’m projecting…

What? Depressing? No way… I’m a shoe addict and it’s not about trying to fill a void at least not for me I just love shoes because they look good on my feet. The shoes I own right now fill my walk in closet and there’s nothing else in there no clothes or anything just shoes. So even rich and famous has nothing to do with it. If I had the money though my closet would look like Christina Aguilera’s.

People collect lots of things. She collects shoes. Sure, she might have $200K or so worth of footwear, but she can afford it. Sure, the closet’s tacky. But it’s her closet. She can make it look as tacky as she wants. I’d decorate my closet differently, but it doesn’t matter. I just wish I could afford a place with a closet that big.

Um, yes! And that the ladder is on a slide makes it all the more better & convenient.
Probably the hole that is crying out for more fabulous shoes…I have that same hole inside of me and I work very hard to try and fill it!

You’re looking at this all wrong. She can spend some quality mother-son bonding time by holding him up by his ankles to retrieve her favorite shoes. Additionally, she can use this as a teaching moment by asking him to get her Jimmy Choo Tahiti Glitter Peep Toe Pumps. Motherhood is what you make of it.

Crass materialism. How many shoes can you wear? Pass the puke bucket.

Let’s look at this perspectively. First of all at least she has her child with her, most celebrity mum’s would’ve dumped their kids with a nanny. Plus this is a woman who has sold 25 million albums so she has earned at least 25 mil which means she has only spent 1% of her salary on shoes. How much percentage do you spend? You shouldn’t judge so harshly! I mean why focus on what she spends on herself and look at all the charity work and money she’s donated. For her Wedding she asked for no presents and people to donate money to a charity. This is why I “worship” her, she’s a good person, leave her alone!
